Seaborn Statistical Visualization
Overview
This public intake copy packages plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/seaborn from https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills into the native Omni Skills editorial shape without hiding its origin.
Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.
This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses the external_source block in metadata.json plus ORIGIN.md as the provenance anchor for review.
Seaborn Statistical Visualization
Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Design Philosophy, Core Plotting Interfaces, Plotting Functions by Category, Multi-Plot Grids, Figure-Level vs Axes-Level Functions, Data Structure Requirements.
When to Use This Skill
Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.
- You need publication-quality statistical graphics directly from tabular datasets.
- You are exploring multivariate relationships, distributions, or grouped comparisons with minimal plotting code.
- You want seaborn's dataset-oriented API and statistical defaults on top of matplotlib.
- Use when the request clearly matches the imported source intent: Seaborn is a Python visualization library for creating publication-quality statistical graphics. Use this skill for dataset-oriented plotting, multivariate analysis, automatic statistical estimation, and complex....
- Use when the operator should preserve upstream workflow detail instead of rewriting the process from scratch.
- Use when provenance needs to stay visible in the answer, PR, or review packet.
Operating Table
| Situation | Start here | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| First-time use | metadata.json | Confirms repository, branch, commit, and imported path through the external_source block before touching the copied workflow |
| Provenance review | ORIGIN.md | Gives reviewers a plain-language audit trail for the imported source |
| Workflow execution | SKILL.md | Starts with the smallest copied file that materially changes execution |
| Supporting context | SKILL.md | Adds the next most relevant copied source file without loading the entire package |
| Handoff decision | ## Related Skills | Helps the operator switch to a stronger native skill when the task drifts |
Workflow
This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow.
- Confirm the user goal, the scope of the imported workflow, and whether this skill is still the right router for the task.
- Read the overview and provenance files before loading any copied upstream support files.
- Load only the references, examples, prompts, or scripts that materially change the outcome for the current request.
- Execute the upstream workflow while keeping provenance and source boundaries explicit in the working notes.
- Validate the result against the upstream expectations and the evidence you can point to in the copied files.
- Escalate or hand off to a related skill when the work moves out of this imported workflow's center of gravity.
- Before merge or closure, record what was used, what changed, and what the reviewer still needs to verify.
Imported Workflow Notes
Imported: Overview
Seaborn is a Python visualization library for creating publication-quality statistical graphics. Use this skill for dataset-oriented plotting, multivariate analysis, automatic statistical estimation, and complex multi-panel figures with minimal code.
Imported: Design Philosophy
Seaborn follows these core principles:
- Dataset-oriented: Work directly with DataFrames and named variables rather than abstract coordinates
- Semantic mapping: Automatically translate data values into visual properties (colors, sizes, styles)
- Statistical awareness: Built-in aggregation, error estimation, and confidence intervals
- Aesthetic defaults: Publication-ready themes and color palettes out of the box
- Matplotlib integration: Full compatibility with matplotlib customization when needed
Examples
Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly
Use @seaborn to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.
Explanation: This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.
Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review
Review @seaborn against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.
Explanation: Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.
Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution
Use @seaborn for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.
Explanation: This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.
Example 4: Build a reviewer packet
Review @seaborn using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.
Explanation: This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.
Imported Usage Notes
Imported: Quick Start
import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pandas as pd
# Load example dataset
df = sns.load_dataset('tips')
# Create a simple visualization
sns.scatterplot(data=df, x='total_bill', y='tip', hue='day')
plt.show()
Best Practices
Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.
- Data Preparation Always use well-structured DataFrames with meaningful column names: `python # Good: Named columns in DataFrame df = pd.DataFrame({'bill': bills, 'tip': tips, 'day': days}) sns.scatterplot(data=df, x='bill', y='tip', hue='day') # Avoid: Unnamed arrays sns.scatterplot(x=xarray, y=yarray) # Loses axis labels ### 2.
- Choose the Right Plot Type Continuous x, continuous y: scatterplot, lineplot, kdeplot, regplot Continuous x, categorical y: violinplot, boxplot, stripplot, swarmplot One continuous variable: histplot, kdeplot, ecdfplot Correlations/matrices: heatmap, clustermap Pairwise relationships: pairplot, jointplot ### 3.
- Use Figure-Level Functions for Faceting python # Instead of manual subplot creation sns.relplot(data=df, x='x', y='y', col='category', colwrap=3) # Not: Creating subplots manually for simple faceting ### 4.
- Leverage Semantic Mappings Use hue, size, and style to encode additional dimensions: python sns.scatterplot(data=df, x='x', y='y', hue='category', # Color by category size='importance', # Size by continuous variable style='type') # Marker style by type ### 5.
- Control Statistical Estimation Many functions compute statistics automatically.
- Understand and customize: python # Lineplot computes mean and 95% CI by default sns.lineplot(data=df, x='time', y='value', errorbar='sd') # Use standard deviation instead # Barplot computes mean by default sns.barplot(data=df, x='category', y='value', estimator='median', # Use median instead errorbar=('ci', 95)) # Bootstrapped CI ### 6.
- Combine with Matplotlib Seaborn integrates seamlessly with matplotlib for fine-tuning: python ax = sns.scatterplot(data=df, x='x', y='y') ax.set(xlabel='Custom X Label', ylabel='Custom Y Label', title='Custom Title') ax.axhline(y=0, color='r', linestyle='--') plt.tightlayout() ### 7.
Imported Operating Notes
Imported: Best Practices
1. Data Preparation
Always use well-structured DataFrames with meaningful column names:
# Good: Named columns in DataFrame
df = pd.DataFrame({'bill': bills, 'tip': tips, 'day': days})
sns.scatterplot(data=df, x='bill', y='tip', hue='day')
# Avoid: Unnamed arrays
sns.scatterplot(x=x_array, y=y_array) # Loses axis labels
2. Choose the Right Plot Type
Continuous x, continuous y: scatterplot, lineplot, kdeplot, regplot
Continuous x, categorical y: violinplot, boxplot, stripplot, swarmplot
One continuous variable: histplot, kdeplot, ecdfplot
Correlations/matrices: heatmap, clustermap
Pairwise relationships: pairplot, jointplot
3. Use Figure-Level Functions for Faceting
# Instead of manual subplot creation
sns.relplot(data=df, x='x', y='y', col='category', col_wrap=3)
# Not: Creating subplots manually for simple faceting
4. Leverage Semantic Mappings
Use hue, size, and style to encode additional dimensions:
sns.scatterplot(data=df, x='x', y='y',
hue='category', # Color by category
size='importance', # Size by continuous variable
style='type') # Marker style by type
5. Control Statistical Estimation
Many functions compute statistics automatically. Understand and customize:
# Lineplot computes mean and 95% CI by default
sns.lineplot(data=df, x='time', y='value',
errorbar='sd') # Use standard deviation instead
# Barplot computes mean by default
sns.barplot(data=df, x='category', y='value',
estimator='median', # Use median instead
errorbar=('ci', 95)) # Bootstrapped CI
6. Combine with Matplotlib
Seaborn integrates seamlessly with matplotlib for fine-tuning:
ax = sns.scatterplot(data=df, x='x', y='y')
ax.set(xlabel='Custom X Label', ylabel='Custom Y Label',
title='Custom Title')
ax.axhline(y=0, color='r', linestyle='--')
plt.tight_layout()
7. Save High-Quality Figures
fig = sns.relplot(data=df, x='x', y='y', col='group')
fig.savefig('figure.png', dpi=300, bbox_inches='tight')
fig.savefig('figure.pdf') # Vector format for publications
Troubleshooting
Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically
Symptoms: The result ignores the upstream workflow in plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/seaborn, fails to mention provenance, or does not use any copied source files at all.
Solution: Re-open metadata.json, ORIGIN.md, and the most relevant copied upstream files. Check the external_source block first, then restate the provenance before continuing.
Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review
Symptoms: Reviewers can see the generated SKILL.md, but they cannot quickly tell which references, examples, or scripts matter for the current task.
Solution: Point at the exact copied references, examples, scripts, or assets that justify the path you took. If the gap is still real, record it in the PR instead of hiding it.
Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization
Symptoms: The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better. Solution: Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.
Imported Troubleshooting Notes
Imported: Troubleshooting
Issue: Legend Outside Plot Area
Figure-level functions place legends outside by default. To move inside:
g = sns.relplot(data=df, x='x', y='y', hue='category')
g._legend.set_bbox_to_anchor((0.9, 0.5)) # Adjust position
Issue: Overlapping Labels
plt.xticks(rotation=45, ha='right')
plt.tight_layout()
Issue: Figure Too Small
For figure-level functions:
sns.relplot(data=df, x='x', y='y', height=6, aspect=1.5)
For axes-level functions:
fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(10, 6))
sns.scatterplot(data=df, x='x', y='y', ax=ax)
Issue: Colors Not Distinct Enough
# Use a different palette
sns.set_palette("bright")
# Or specify number of colors
palette = sns.color_palette("husl", n_colors=len(df['category'].unique()))
sns.scatterplot(data=df, x='x', y='y', hue='category', palette=palette)
Issue: KDE Too Smooth or Jagged
# Adjust bandwidth
sns.kdeplot(data=df, x='x', bw_adjust=0.5) # Less smooth
sns.kdeplot(data=df, x='x', bw_adjust=2) # More smooth

Imported: Core Plotting Interfaces
Function Interface (Traditional)
The function interface provides specialized plotting functions organized by visualization type. Each category has axes-level functions (plot to single axes) and figure-level functions (manage entire figure with faceting).
When to use:
- Quick exploratory analysis
- Single-purpose visualizations
- When you need a specific plot type
Objects Interface (Modern)
The seaborn.objects interface provides a declarative, composable API similar to ggplot2. Build visualizations by chaining methods to specify data mappings, marks, transformations, and scales.
When to use:
- Complex layered visualizations
- When you need fine-grained control over transformations
- Building custom plot types
- Programmatic plot generation

g.map(sns.scatterplot, 'total_bill', 'tip')
g.add_legend()
PairGrid
Show pairwise relationships between all variables in a dataset.

g = sns.JointGrid(data=df, x='total_bill', y='tip')
g.plot_joint(sns.scatterplot)
g.plot_marginals(sns.histplot)
Imported: Figure-Level vs Axes-Level Functions
Understanding this distinction is crucial for effective seaborn usage:
Axes-Level Functions
- Plot to a single matplotlib
Axesobject - Integrate easily into complex matplotlib figures
- Accept
ax=parameter for precise placement - Return
Axesobject - Examples:
scatterplot,histplot,boxplot,regplot,heatmap
When to use:
- Building custom multi-plot layouts
- Combining different plot types
- Need matplotlib-level control
- Integrating with existing matplotlib code
fig, axes = plt.subplots(2, 2, figsize=(10, 10))
sns.scatterplot(data=df, x='x', y='y', ax=axes[0, 0])
sns.histplot(data=df, x='x', ax=axes[0, 1])
sns.boxplot(data=df, x='cat', y='y', ax=axes[1, 0])
sns.kdeplot(data=df, x='x', y='y', ax=axes[1, 1])
Figure-Level Functions
- Manage entire figure including all subplots
- Built-in faceting via
colandrowparameters - Return
FacetGrid,JointGrid, orPairGridobjects - Use
heightandaspectfor sizing (per subplot) - Cannot be placed in existing figure
- Examples:
relplot,displot,catplot,lmplot,jointplot,pairplot
When to use:
- Faceted visualizations (small multiples)
- Quick exploratory analysis
- Consistent multi-panel layouts
- Don't need to combine with other plot types
# Automatic faceting
sns.relplot(data=df, x='x', y='y', col='category', row='group',
hue='type', height=3, aspect=1.2)
Imported: Data Structure Requirements
Long-Form Data (Preferred)
Each variable is a column, each observation is a row. This "tidy" format provides maximum flexibility:
# Long-form structure
subject condition measurement
0 1 control 10.5
1 1 treatment 12.3
2 2 control 9.8
3 2 treatment 13.1
Advantages:
- Works with all seaborn functions
- Easy to remap variables to visual properties
- Supports arbitrary complexity
- Natural for DataFrame operations
Wide-Form Data
Variables are spread across columns. Useful for simple rectangular data:
# Wide-form structure
control treatment
0 10.5 12.3
1 9.8 13.1
Use cases:
- Simple time series
- Correlation matrices
- Heatmaps
- Quick plots of array data
Converting wide to long:
df_long = df.melt(var_name='condition', value_name='measurement')
Imported: Color Palettes
Seaborn provides carefully designed color palettes for different data types:
Qualitative Palettes (Categorical Data)
Distinguish categories through hue variation:
"deep"- Default, vivid colors"muted"- Softer, less saturated"pastel"- Light, desaturated"bright"- Highly saturated"dark"- Dark values"colorblind"- Safe for color vision deficiency
sns.set_palette("colorblind")
sns.color_palette("Set2")
Sequential Palettes (Ordered Data)
Show progression from low to high values:
"rocket","mako"- Wide luminance range (good for heatmaps)"flare","crest"- Restricted luminance (good for points/lines)"viridis","magma","plasma"- Matplotlib perceptually uniform
sns.heatmap(data, cmap='rocket')
sns.kdeplot(data=df, x='x', y='y', cmap='mako', fill=True)
Diverging Palettes (Centered Data)
Emphasize deviations from a midpoint:
"vlag"- Blue to red"icefire"- Blue to orange"coolwarm"- Cool to warm"Spectral"- Rainbow diverging
sns.heatmap(correlation_matrix, cmap='vlag', center=0)
Custom Palettes
# Create custom palette
custom = sns.color_palette("husl", 8)
# Light to dark gradient
palette = sns.light_palette("seagreen", as_cmap=True)
# Diverging palette from hues
palette = sns.diverging_palette(250, 10, as_cmap=True)
Imported: Theming and Aesthetics
Set Theme
set_theme() controls overall appearance:
# Set complete theme
sns.set_theme(style='whitegrid', palette='pastel', font='sans-serif')
# Reset to defaults
sns.set_theme()
Styles
Control background and grid appearance:
"darkgrid"- Gray background with white grid (default)"whitegrid"- White background with gray grid"dark"- Gray background, no grid"white"- White background, no grid"ticks"- White background with axis ticks
sns.set_style("whitegrid")
# Remove spines
sns.despine(left=False, bottom=False, offset=10, trim=True)
# Temporary style
with sns.axes_style("white"):
sns.scatterplot(data=df, x='x', y='y')
Contexts
Scale elements for different use cases:
"paper"- Smallest (default)"notebook"- Slightly larger"talk"- Presentation slides"poster"- Large format
sns.set_context("talk", font_scale=1.2)
# Temporary context
with sns.plotting_context("poster"):
sns.barplot(data=df, x='category', y='value')
Imported: Common Patterns
Exploratory Data Analysis
# Quick overview of all relationships
sns.pairplot(data=df, hue='target', corner=True)
# Distribution exploration
sns.displot(data=df, x='variable', hue='group',
kind='kde', fill=True, col='category')
# Correlation analysis
corr = df.corr()
sns.heatmap(corr, annot=True, cmap='coolwarm', center=0)
Publication-Quality Figures
sns.set_theme(style='ticks', context='paper', font_scale=1.1)

g.set_axis_labels('Treatment Condition', 'Response (μM)')
g.set_titles('{col_name}')
sns.despine(trim=True)
g.savefig('figure.pdf', dpi=300, bbox_inches='tight')
Complex Multi-Panel Figures
# Using matplotlib subplots with seaborn
fig, axes = plt.subplots(2, 2, figsize=(12, 10))
sns.scatterplot(data=df, x='x1', y='y', hue='group', ax=axes[0, 0])
sns.histplot(data=df, x='x1', hue='group', ax=axes[0, 1])
sns.violinplot(data=df, x='group', y='y', ax=axes[1, 0])
sns.heatmap(df.pivot_table(values='y', index='x1', columns='x2'),
ax=axes[1, 1], cmap='viridis')
plt.tight_layout()
Time Series with Confidence Bands
# Lineplot automatically aggregates and shows CI
sns.lineplot(data=timeseries, x='date', y='measurement',
hue='sensor', style='location', errorbar='sd')
# For more control
g = sns.relplot(data=timeseries, x='date', y='measurement',
col='location', hue='sensor', kind='line',
height=4, aspect=1.5, errorbar=('ci', 95))
g.set_axis_labels('Date', 'Measurement (units)')
Imported: Limitations
- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
- Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
- Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
